Hor­ ney, R.N., read the address, Mrs. T. McCurdy making the presentation. Mr. McDonald made a very fitting reply, after which a suitable pro­ gram and many reminiscences of the •past were enjoyed by all. Delicious refreshments were then served and after all joined hands singing “Auld Lang Syne’’ all departed after wishing the bride and groom many liappy returns of the day. Following was the address: Dear sister and Brother: Forty years you’ve spent together, Braving every kind of weather, Forty years of wedded bliss, Not one day of which you’d miss. Now I’m -asked to take the floor, Just to wish you forty more, Full of love and hope and joy, With no troubles to annoy; May your last days be your best, And whene’er you want a rest; Sit you down upon this chair, Rest your weary muscles there. It is padded full and tight, With love of those who meet tonight Just to bring this gift to you. With good wishes fond and true, May you both live many a year, With health, comfort and good cheer Ere you hear the last home call Is the heart felt wish of all. Your Sisters and Brothers, Neices and Nephews. evening was spent in card playing and at 11.30 a> dainty lunch and ice cream was served. Mrs. Reynolds was assisted in serving lunch by Mrs. L.

The MOTHER FINDS OUT “There are so many places one can go!” sighed Jo'an, as the family held its annual vacation argument. “If one only knew more about them!” “I woder,” suggested mother “if it wouldn’t be a good plan telephone .some 6,f them? M/sf Smith always does!” The upshot of it was mother did telephone, and the family decided on a pTa’ce in no time. Over the ’Phone “Take the message and I’ll get it from you later,” said the boss. “Your little girl wants to kiss you over the phone,” explained the stenog demurely. PAVING NEARING COMPLETION Interesting visit ip Gravel Pit Road building with modern ma­ chinery is a far step from the old days when the work was done with pick and shovel and with horse- drawn vehicles, The tremendous amount of work handled by a few men with modern equipment ac­ counts for the rapid way in which our modern highways are built and at the same time is more or less re­ sponsible for the unemployment situation. Boss &. Brazier, of London, who have the contract for paying the five-mile stretch south of Exeter which when finished .will finish the pavement from Londo’n to Goderich, are now on the last mile and have moved their machinery to 'Exeter and are working south. 'The end of the webk will see the work pretty well finished. It will then be another three weeks before the road will open to the public. The editor of 'the Times-Advocate paid a trip to Mr, R. Slkinner’s gra­ vel pit at Elimville Monday after­ noon where the gravel is being se­ cured . for the road. The visit was exceedingly interesting and a revel­ ation to anyone not acquainted with present day methods. In the centre of the pit built on tresslework about fifty feet high are. huge drums to which the gravel from the pit is elevated, iscreened and washed and dumped into two piles, the fine and the course. The gravel is brought to the foot of the conveyor belt by a huge dragline, nicknamed by the . men the “sub­ marine” because it draws the gra­ vel through several feet of water on the bottom of the pit forming a large pond because of the large amount of grayel that has -been taken out. The gravel first passes through the “grizzley” where the oversize stone is removed and the large stone passes through a crush­ er while the right size gravel en­ ters the elevator buckets and is conveyed to the large drums to be washed and screened. The convey­ or belt with its buckets carries a load of about two tons. For the washing, of the gravel a system of three reservoirs has been created. From the first reservoir the water is pumped to- tbe drums and tiny streams play upon the gra­ vel as it is being screened. The dirty water flows down a large shoot to the second reservoir the largest of the three. The top water from this reservoir overflows into a third and from here he water • is filtered though ;a. gravel bed back to the first reservoir to again be used. A large crane operated by Mr. Cliff Hill gobbles up about a yard of gravel as the large jaws open and close. This gravel, now ready for use is elevated to a. large funnel shaped machine with two compart­ ments, one for sand and the other lor gravel. Here the gravel and sand are measured and pass through shoots into, the large waiting trucks. The trucks are also, divided into two compartments and each compart­ ment receives 12 feet of sand and 24 feet of gravel. ’ As .the trucks pass a certain point along the road where the- cement is stored they receive eight bags of cement in each, compartment and this constitutes a. batch for the mix­ ing machine. At the mixer the trucks are, driven upon a turn table where one man and the driver turn the truck around by hand. The gra­ vel and bement are then dumped in- to the inixer anti away goes the truck tor another load, 17 large trucks are used for hauling the gravel. There are practically no de­ lays everything being handled sys­ tematically and. in order. At the gravel pit the whole plant is driven by a single motor 'and many hundreds of feet of wire cable are used. The dragline ip the' pit is 450 feet long requiring twice^that amount of cable, z One gang of men are continually at work clearing the top soil from the gravel. The gravel runs from twelve to fifteen deep, the finer gra­ vel being sat the top, Mr. Felton Baxter, a Grand Bend Old Boy, wbo has spent over 22 years in road­ building is in charge of the pit. PRESENTATION AND ADDRESS Neighbors and friends recently gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cooper McCurdy and in the course 'Of a pleasant evening pres­ ented the newly-married couple with a handsome walnut taible and six dining-ropm chairs. An address was read by Mr. Herman Hodgson and the presentation made by Messrs. W. Baker and Jos. Wilson to which Mr. McCurdy made a fitting reply.
